4x4 shifter knob

[Dirt's72]

Just checking to see if this is the period correct(yrs73-87) 4x4 shifter knob.
Thanks.

That looks like the knob in my '83. The '85 I had used the newer style knob and the '79 I had used the older style.

That's for NP205 I think. NP 208 has a different shift pattern.

That's correct for an NP205 transfer case.

Looks correct, except it should have some texture (not smooth) I think.

Now, you might suspect that the shift ball for this "odd ball" was probably not available, and you'd be right. However, if you were me, you'd figure that the manual transfer case shift ball was probably identical and would work in this application. So, I ordered one up:





Pretty much exactly the same! After about 30 seconds of work, you can pop the indicator out of the old knob and slip it into the new knob and VIOLA!: new shift ball!
